Review: All-Time Classic!, I had heard about this movie back in the ’80s, and finally rented it a few years ago on Pay-Per-View. It was made during a time when adult movies actually looked like real movies-shot on 35mm film. The film locations and sets indicate that the movie had a big budget, compared to other adult features of the time. The charismatic Marilyn Chambers plays a model/actress that can’t seem to find satisfying relationships, but has a whole lot of fun trying. It’s a definite classic adult film and a must have for VHS/DVD classic adult film collectors.

The ceaseless labor of love out of which emerges what is later called the soul of a person. Creating the cradle of love that nurtures the child’s evolving soul. Affection and distance. The father’s career at the local police department. And the mother solely devoted to caring for the child. The violence between husband and wife. We watch as this woman sinks. And how she does everything she can to save this child’s soul, to keep it intact, to let it grow. To teach the child love. THE POLICE OFFICER’S WIFE is a film about the virtue of love, the virtue of curiosity, the virtue of joy. And about the darkness within us.

One of the most mysterious of all the films by Joe D’amato isn’t that much of a mystery anymore. Like many of his other films from this period, D’amato often made good use of whatever footage shot by using it more than one project. In this instance re-cycling about 40% of the 1976 film EVA NERA (BLACK COBRA WOMAN), with snake dancing Laura Gemser, and mixing in some new hardcore footage shot on the same island where the bulk of PORNO HOLOCAUST and EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD was filmed (and featuring some of the same performers, including those incredibly foxy brunettes from PORNO HOLOCAUST), mish-mashed with a smattering of new scenes filmed in and around Hong Kong.
The result is a totally new movie with the same gist: snake dancing erotic performer wishes to avenge the death of her sister after an “accidental” heroin overdose, leading her into a labyrinth of sleazy polyester lounge suits, erotic nightclub acts, and several softcore lesbian scenes. Gone are Jack Palance and any form of a plot, instead there are a series of incidents that set up the sex scenes as she gets closer and closer to the man responsible for yet another snake bite murder of yet another lesbian lover, culminating in the same cobra felching revenge murder at the end of the film … only now, the names and the faces are changed, and so is the meaning of the murder, which is somewhat less graphic this time around.

Mona is a 30-something single who dreams of a life filled with adventure and romance…. but an ordinary visit to the bank is about to make her real life as exciting as she imagined… ~ cineuropa

Mona (Sidse Babett Knudsen) is a shy, repressed accountant at a posh advertising firm whose social ineptness is exacerbated by her proclivity to daydream. One day, fate intervenes in her otherwise boring life: Taken hostage during a bank robbery, Mona becomes the object of desire for Thorbjorn (Thomas Bo Larsen), one of the robbers. After she escapes, Mona is pursued by her would-be suitor, despite his partner’s desire to have her killed.

Fortunately for them both, she soon wises up, and begins to see what she’s been missing.
